9 drugstore concealers you can trust for crease-proof coverage

The Revlon ColorStay Flex Wear Full Cover Concealer is infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, and once applied, it flexes with the skin as a result. The full-coverage concealer doesn't crease or dry out during the day and feels almost weightless on the skin. Plus, it's waterproof and transfer-resistant. Honestly, what can't she do?!

Long-lasting and lightweight but matte in finish (a tricky to find combination), the L’Oréal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer offers a nice amount of coverage without ever straying into heavy territory. As if that wasn't enough, it's also formulated to endure through exercise! An early rising gym visitor's concealer dream come true.

“When I’m doing makeup that needs to last all day this concealer always comes through. It’s matte but a flexible matte, so it stays put but won’t settle into eye lines and wrinkles. A little goes a long way so I only dot it on, then use a brush to get it in place before blending with a damp sponge. It’s basically a dupe for Tarte Shape Tape, so treat it similarly for the best results.” – Samantha McMeekin, BEAUTYcrew's Editor

In addition to having brightening goji berry as one of its star ingredients (a blessing in the dark circle department), this crease-resistant concealer is an all-rounder that hydrates, conceals and corrects in a single click of its sponge-tipped applicator. File it under 'works like magic'; you'll soon see why.

“The Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer is a cult classic in my (and many) makeup bags for good reason. Not only does it conceal all evidence of those sleepless nights, but I also love to use it to highlight other areas of my face, adding radiance and glow.” – Aja Walter, BEAUTYDIRECTORY's Editor

Knock your 'awake/alive' brief out of the park by swiping on a bit of this stuff. Infused with an illuminating combo of caffeine and vitamin C (and packed with enough pigment to send dullness/dark circles packing), the Revlon ColorStay 24H Skin Awaken™ Concealer offers an easy way to swap 'fatigued' for 'fresh'.

"A great concealer for lightweight under the eye instant awakening. The finish is very skin-like and almost undetectable on the skin. Set with powder, it is long lasting and hydrating. I’m starting to develop dryness and fine lines under my eye and found this concealer to be very flattering." - Carla Z, Review Crew member

Full coverage? Check. Creamy consistency? Check. Under $20? Check, check, check. A one-swipe wonder that brightens, blurs and smoothes the skin, disguising darkness and dullness under a veil of velvety pigment, it's a serious overachiever and an even more serious steal.

“NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is my OG obsession but when I’m keen to grab something a little cheaper (or just want to hit the supermarket/chemist instead of placing a MECCA order), this MCo Beauty Instant Concealer Camouflage & Contour is a dupe that's half the price and impressively close in consistency and coverage. It blurs and brightens like a wizard and refuses to cake or crease even after hours of wear.” - Delaney Loane, BEAUTYcrew's Beauty Editor

A fave of our fresh-faced fave Lili Reinhart, the COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Hydrating Concealer is all about minimising imperfections and maximising glow. Ace at evening out discolouration and blurring the appearance of blemishes, it relies on trusty coconut milk and aloe extracts to get skin looking luminously dewy.

"Very dewy finish and super hydrating formula which I like. It's unlike many others I've used in the past that have gone cakey and dry. Definitely brightens eye area and makes me look awake instantly. Good value and available at supermarkets as well which is handy. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin which is fantastic. I am impressed. This one's a winner!" - Vanessa R, Review Crew member

Described by the brand as a way to 'fake eight hours in a flash', the Flower Beauty Light Illusion Full Coverage Concealer is devoted to diminishing the signs of fatigue, imparting subtle radiance and creamy coverage all at once. It also gets our vote for 'most seamless blend'; the coverage may be full but the feel is featherlight.

“I admit that the Drew Barrymore of it all initially drew me in, but it was the hydrating and blurring finish of this full coverage concealer that kept me coming back for more. After trying more concealers than I can count, this formula proved to be a standout for concealing pimples without dissolving, creasing or cracking.” - Ruby Cotton, BEAUTYcrew's Content Producer

If you're a 'concealer as foundation' fan, this could be the formula that changes your makeup game for good. It's great for classic under-eye action, sure, but it moonlights as a full face base product, especially thanks to its hydrating feel and extra-large wand.

“The Rimmel Multi-Task Concealer has been my go-to drugstore concealer for a few years now. It blends really well and stays on all day, even during summer. It gives great coverage without being cakey, and is especially great for hiding the dark circles under my eyes.” - Tiarne Blackwell, BEAUTYDIRECTORY's Listings Producer
